I And Mine Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

I And Mine

Rating: 5.0


I should be able to see for myself
I should be able to hear by myself
I should be able to pray on my own
I should be able to stray on my own
I should be able to clear things in my head
I should be able to feel things with my heart
I should know that life is not a conducted tour...
to be taken and shown
I need to explore life on my own
The I and MINE should grow in me...and
outside me
I need a life in which...
the world becomes MINE....and
I become the world's.

[Instead of giving up the 'i' and 'mine' as our religions
asks us to do...i have asked for a growth
i want to own the world...and the world me]

The I and MINE should grow in me...and outside me ------- To be whole and united with yourself is a very healthy and highest point of state of one's being........

'i want to own the world...and the world me]'....i quoted this one coz it's a nice line ....we have our own opinions and ideas, , , we have different visions and mission...we build a home for our own, a family for our own, ..well, maybe we could build our own world too.. naizz

This piece speaks to a philosophy to which I have always been a follower since I was a child. That is why I understand it so well. The meaning is very special. It is one that I believe everyone should follow. Thank you for writing this. GW62

No one can erase the 'I' from oneself....even when you control the 'I' another 'I' comes out to witness the previous one...'I' has many facets....but the truth is to realise that one's self or 'I' comes from one's parents in which case 'I'has the shades of charecteristics of either of the parents or both...and the 'I' of the parents too descend from theirs and so on whereby 'I' is linked to the lineage towards the primordial being or the Absolute...so is it sensible to speak of the 'I'with so much possession and passion....you've opened a subject for the forum very well10+++
